I hope your mom feels better soon! From my experience, it seemed rather common that people would go into the hospital for their first heart attack (or stroke) only to find they had actually had more than one. Now that your mom knows though, she and her doctor can work on keeping it from happening again!

Life is such a rollercoaster. Hope your mom is doing well. I'm a newbie and this is day two but i was reading parts of your journal and I am imspired. Keep the faith and I'll be praying for your mom

So glad to hear your mom is doing okay. Hope your hectic pace can slow down a little soon.

Actually she isn't great. She's having an angiogram tomorrow morning and frankly, I am a bit stressed. Her EKG is good, but she is still having some pains.
Please pray for the best.

Mike...

Hope your mom is doing better. I missed the earlier post that she had the heart attacks and bypass. My prayers go out to you and your family.

I am coming a little late to this, but I do hope that your Mother is doing better.

So, mom is doing better... might get out tomorrow or Tuesday.
So, what's happening with me. I feel the need to tell myself what's going on.
School started last week and I just felt like I didn't really take in the moment because I was worried about my mom. I look back now and realize that I have a pretty good group of kids this year. I don't see any classes being particularly bad, although my afternoon sections are more social, but thats expected. Besides, right now they have 35-38 students in them.
I'm working on piloting new textbooks in 3 of my classes, and I hope that this isn't too much work on me.
Medifast is working, and I feel great, and alot thinner than I have ever felt.
Di is busy, and working hard, but overall she feels good about school so far.

All in all, I think I am beginning to look forward to this school year, eventhough it has already started. Once things settle down, perhaps I will feel even better about things.

As for my health, I feel great... my blood sugar is like I am not diabetic anymore at all. My asthma doesn't bother me at all. My blood pressure is good. I just wish the doctor would take me off the cholesterol meds, but in time that will happen as I continue to lose weight.

Well, lets see, I think thats a good enough update for now... so, I say bye to myself for now. :mrgreen:

Sounds like you're right on track (and your mom too). KUTGW!!!

Mike · by **Mike** » October 8th, 2006, 9:14 pm

Well, its been a while since I've been here. School starting was crazy, and frankly, I'm journalling for me.... and don't feel the need to journal alot.
Di and I just got back from the Super Saturday event in Portland. It was awesome to finally meet Terry, Nancy, Dr. A, Leo, Unca, Jan, Keri, Brian, Mike McDevitt, Sara, Allison, and all of the rest of the TSFL team.
I feel recharged, and I can't wait to get in there and get more people healthy.
I've been on a long plateau, haven't been perfect on program, but haven't gained anything. Its nice to finally be losing again though. I am recharged, and I am vowing to myself to be a big loser once again.
Here is to a better, healthier life for myself, my wife, and all of those around me.
Oh, and a note to self.... don'y pay attention to people who use non-medifast stuff and say its okay.....

Sojourner · by **Sojourner** » October 8th, 2006, 9:22 pm

Welcome back Mike!! Both you and your lovely bride have been SO missed! I'm glad you've been recharged, and proud that you managed to maintain during such a crazy professional and personal time. How is your mother? I hope everything is going well with her.

Hey, did you know that you and I share a birthday? Cool, huh? Nov 20th, right? And LilEmo's is the 21st, so we're only one day older than she is! LOL.

Anyway, let me just say again that I'm glad you're back!
